I had a team originally from c. 2013/14 through to 2018/2019 then got sidetracked with other stuff and lost it. Think I got up to Div 2 in FC/OD but could never crack the top leagues. Started up again last year and have got right back into it, good to see still a decent player base. Membership...
Negative - listless in first half, if not for accurate kicking could have been totally out of it by half time
Positive - ignoring all the obvious stuff, our defence really stood up in the one on ones. Big shoutout to Barrass for keeping Hawkins to 2 marks when he is the sort of player that...
Hard to compare different eras but I don't think Sampi would make it to the AFL now whereas Ryan could have gone back and slotted in. Also yeah Sampi was fat. Club culture is probably more conducive to integrating players now compared with back in early 2000s. E.g. can't see someone like that...
Personally I'd rather see him move on now, at the pinnacle of his career, rather than have him drop out of the best 22 a few rounds into next season and have him playing in the WAFL for the rest of the year. I doubt he'll move on voluntarily though. I get the whole "on-field coach" angle, but...
The teenager angle really shits me - it's all over the place on twitter, "he was only 18, disgusting!!!!". So AFL players should temper their playing style based on the age and experience of their opponents? It's the Naitanui tackle all over again - players shouldn't be expected to make split...
IMHO it's in Gaff's interests for the tribunal not to watch it in slo-mo. In real time he can make the argument that he didn't expect Brayshaw to be that low down, but in slow motion it looks more intentional.
Actually, out of all the incidents the one that immediately sprung to mind is Ty Vickery on Dean Cox. I would assume that the intention of Vickery and Gaff was to give their opponent a whack on the chest, which happens dozens of times every game and rarely even gets a free kick. But then they...
Tom Bugg got six weeks, Barry Hall got seven weeks but IIRC there were additional weeks for previous bad behaviour. Gaff's was reasonably similar to both, so I'd guess six weeks is the most likely. I find it kind of hard to be objective because Gaff is so likeable and mild-mannered ... it's such...
Positive: didn't let it blow out, kept Sydney goalless in two quarters (!) when they'd never been goalless in a quarter under Longmire at the SCG
Negative: probably the better team for most of the game but couldn't find a path to victory

Umps were the real MVP tho (in terms of helping us win, not in terms of fairness or watchability or anything else)
